Polish for automobiles and the like



GEORGE DARLINTON, OF SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA.

POLISH FOB AUTOMOBILES AND THE LIE.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. DARLIN- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at San Pedro, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Polishes forAutomobiles and the like, of which the following is a specification.

My invention rel .tes to a polish for automobiles and the like, and itis an object of this invention to provide a polish which is easilyapplied and is not sticky during the process of polishing, and whichleaves a durable, water, finger and dust proof polish.

My invention consists in the combination of ingredients hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

The following ingredients are used in the composition of my polish, theparts being indicated by volume.

1 part carnauba wax, 3 parts beeswax, 24 parts eucalyptus oil, 24 partsboiled linseed oil, 12 parts Chinese wood oil, to which about 3% oflitharge has been added as a 55 dryer, 160 parts water.

The ingredients are combined in the following manner:

The eucalyptus oil is heated to the melt ing point of wax, and thecarnauba and beeswax are added, until they are thoroughly dissolved andthe solution is clear.

The solution is cooled slowly, and then the linseed oil and Chinese woodoil are added thereto; then the water, and the mixture thoroughlyagitated to form a permanent emulsion. The color is white and has theconsistency of cream, with a yellowish cast. Light and the contact withair seems to bleach it to a pure'white.

Eucalyptus oil, as well known, is an essential oil, but is superior totur entine in that it will cause the polish on t e surface to be treatedto dry more quickly and leave a more brilliant and hard surface finish.Eucalyptus oil also bleaches the linseed and Chinese wood oils. Thelinseed and Chinese wood oils, which are drying oils, cause the polishfihn to retain its elasticity and prevent its cracking.

It is preferable to add litharge to the Chinese wood oil to cause thesame to dry Application flled lune 19, 1924. Serial No. 721,011.

more quickly and to prevent opaqueness of the latter, which would occurif the litharge were omitted.

In place of the beeswax, carnauba wax alone may be used, or vice versa,but the better results are obtained by using carnauba wax and beeswaxtogether, carnauba wax leaving aharder finish than beeswax, the beeswaxappears to have the property of filling the holes of the surface to befinished better than carnauba wax.

Chinese wood oil may be omitted, and linseed oil alone may be used, orvice versa, although again, a mixture of the two gives the best results.

The eucalyptus oil, however, is essential,

finished emulsion facilitates the application of the polish to thesurface to be treated.

Fifteen or twenty drops of the polish are applied to a cheesecloth, andthe latter is and good results may be obtained by using quickly run overthe surface to be polished,

and may be rubbed dry with the same cloth, or may be finished with adrycloth. The polish may be applied to the surface and left thereon fromone-half hour to six hours, and then be rubbed dry with the dry cloth,and will leave a brilliant, durable, dust, finger and waterproof finish.

My polish may be used in polishing any hard surfaces, either of metal,enamel, wood, leather and imitation of leather and the like.

The proportions of the ingredients may be varied widely, but bestresults are obtained by following the same as above indicated. v

I claim:

1. A polishing composition in the form of an emulsion, containingeucaltus oil, a waxy material, a drying oil '2 water.

2, A polishing composition in the form of an emulsion, containingeucalyptus oil, carnauba wax, a drying oil and water.
